Shadow Shot Sunday:
The Railway at Romiley


Strong shadows on "The Railway" public house which stands next to Romiley Station near Stockport on the line from Sheffield to Manchester.

I like how the furled England flag casts a bird-like shadow. This was taken a few weeks ago before we were dumped out of the World Cup.

For more shadows shots this Sunday visit Hey Harriet.

  1. You are right about the shadow to the right - I see a parrot sitting on a perch in the wall. Not at all like its subject, this shadow is lots of fun!

  7. Even though it looks like a parrot, it reminds me of Wallace Stevens' poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. "I don't know which to prefer. The beauty of inflections, or the beauty of innuendos. The blackbird whistling, or just after."
